Sometimes a full table scan is better than an index lookup. Sometimes not. Kevin Kennedy First Point Energy Corporation
-----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 6:27 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L My queries are running exceptionally good with a rule based optimizer and the cost based is doing a full table scan for the same. Is it good idea to put the RULE hint..? or is there anything I am missing. All my tables are properly analyzed. I thought I should avoid RULE hint as much as possible. any suggestions/comments on this pls..
